Enough to keep you interested. Without knowing the story, you know relatively quickly how the story ends. It's still worth it, the series is short after all. But hell, I've never heard of Monica Dolan. Her acting almost brought me to tears. I loved her so much in the serie.

[BritBox] The point of view of the series tries to redeem the wife as an accomplice in this incredible story, with elements in common with "Stonehouse" (2023). Another fraud in which a man pretends to be dead to escape debt, but here it is built on simplicity and a certain ridiculous sense of humor that has parallels with that other couple unable to lead a criminal life that we saw in " Landscapers" (2021). The moral discourse predominates in a story that is sometimes too superficial, but whose main interest is in the performing of its two protagonists.

Eddie Marsan plays himself, a deluded, ignorant, nasty piece of work. John Darwin got off so lightly compared to his devoted, abused wife.

I have seen Eddie Marian a few times in supporting roles, so I was glad to see him as a lead character. The mini-series is based on an actual case and judging from a general perusal of that case, they seem to have stuck pretty close to actual events.

It is not mesmerizing viewing but it held my i More
